The Official October 2013 Trip Planning Thread

[piratemamaof3]

YAY! I have updated the first post with your dates and where you're staying. Where are you thinking for ADR's?

DHs one request was Tusker House for breakfast. I want BOG but I will prob just do lunch there. We are thinking Cape May (for the seafood), and Tepin Edos and possibly MM for Fantasmic Dinner package. Still thinking about other places.

Officially booked! Same dates of Oct 6-10 but at BLT (BWV did not have availability) So excited!!! I am just finishing up my Dec TR (I actually just did a marathon update of 4.5 days) I am going to start a PTR for this trip and include my Jan 2014 trip as well. Now just need to wait on ADR's opening up!!

I have decided on 3 dinner ADRs at Flying Fish, Citricos and Artist Point. I figured one night of just World Showcase food for dinner. I also want to try BOG for lunch, Kona Café and Kouzzina (maybe?) for breakfast.

So excited!!

We are doing a split stay at CBR Sept 28-Oct 1 and then POP Oct 2-6...hoping to take in MNSSHP, F&W and running TOT 10-mile. A week full of fun and friends!

We are planning an October trip at CSR. Not 100% sure of our dates yet though! I will update as soon as I figure it out

 

[sammyjo1871]

Finally bit the bullet and bought Annual Passes today! The vouchers should be here within a couple weeks. I also called WDW today to make a payment, add our room requests and add Magical Express flight info. Woohoo!

Now to figure out some daily plans, before the 180 day mark and MNSSHP tickets go on sale. And, hoping they'll be some type of AP room discount that comes out closer to the trip. Come on pixie dust!!

to everyone that is new to this thread! I have everyone added or edited. I'm sorry that I have been MIA recently, just super busy. You know, life, it get's in the way.

We are going the first week of October for our first trip ever. We are staying at an undetermined good neighbor hotel. SO EXCITED!

Hello! I thought I would re-check in and keep current on this thread now that plans are more firm we are doing oct 26-30 at AKL and oct 31 - nov 3 at BLT! Hubby & I are celebrating our second anniversary!

I'm excited for the 6 month window open so I can start ADRs!

 

[lemonsours]

Hi L-Harper! I remember you from the September 2011 thread, it looks like you're doing just as great managing this one as you did that one! Congratulations on your move to Florida, how exciting!

We are headed down 10/6-10/13, staying at POR in a Royal room. We haven't booked yet, trying to hold out for some kind of discount, but will def book by 180 days to make our ADRs.

I'm a little jealous of your little guy being 40 inches--mine is only 36 right now (despite being a year older) and I don't think there's any way he'll grow 4 inches by October.

After our week at WDW we are headed to Marriott Lakeshore Reserves for a week with my Dad, Stepmom, Brother, and Sister-in-law. We don't know yet if we'll have any Disney days with them, so we had to make sure we get our Disney in ahead of time!

We are really looking forward to FW and MNSSHP again.

Hello October planners!

We just booked AofA today for Oct. 11-14. We are flying in for three crazy days!
We have never been to Disney in October and the reason we booked in October is to attend MNSSHP! We also hope to spend one day in Epcot! So excited!!!

 

[brettcw23]

Officially booked at Boardwalk Villas.
October 12th -19th
Very excited to be so close to EP and DHS!
